The UP 1982 (the Missouri Pacific Heritage unit) [:D] [:D] [:D]

Zach wanted me to call him and let him know when it arrived. He asked me if it was clean. I told him, "Yes." Then I got closer and noticed the bug splatters (but you have to be pretty close to see them [;)] ) . So Zach, I hope it looked clean to you. [;)] Several people turned out to take photos of it. [^]

It is a very nice looking unit and I was very surprised to be able to see it so soon. [:)] It is worth your time to see it if you can. [;)]

Zach saw it too, but I think that today he is busy editing his photos and trying to get them on a website. I think we might get to see some of his "movies" too. [;)] [:D]

The Missouri Pacific Heritage unit 1982 (again, [;)] this is twice in the last 6 days) [:D]

and a very mixed up SP / DRGW unit numbered 5368 (the 5368 looked like a spray painted job too)

[bbrant]

Saw the following today in Pittsburgh

-- A Helm/former SP tunnel motor on the point of a freight.
-- A CN unit in some type of gray paint scheme
-- A former Wisconsin Central

All were on CSX and all were heading westbound but different trains

[Modelcar]

....Still seeing {every few days}, long cuts of covered hopper cars on passing {side track}, in west Muncie....located on NS Frankfort line. They arrive and remain for a day or two and then they are picked up by another train and moved out....Don't even know which way they leave....Have never heard a rational reason for why this is a routine occurance.

[Mikeygaw]

That CN unit may have been either WC or GTW, they both have sublettered units with the "noodle".

Oh yeah, I forgot what I was originally gonna post!!! [B)]

I saw a Sounder commuter car right behind the locomotives on Amtrak #7 today at 15:15 heading north (RR west) through Somers, WI.

The Cartier Alco # 34 is still hanging around. Rumor has it that it is headed for the Arkansas Railroad Museum. That would be a good home for it. [:p]

I also saw UP 6330 a patched SP unit.

That is good if so. I am sure the riders appreciate having them back. [;)]

the ones that have been repaired are back in service, but I don't think they're back up to 100% as of yet

Thanks Mikey [:D]

I saw something unique tonight. Well maybe not to ED, but I saw UPY2300, a GG20GE.

I think Ed would say this is basically a copy of the MK2000s. [;)]

This one is suspose to be a Hybird and use less fuel.

Here is some info about it.

I have been seeing a lot of older power painted in gray and stenciled WC. Someone said those were wrent a wrecks leased to CN and labeled for WC. After seeing some of them I think CN would have been better off sticking with the original WC power. WC power looked like it was much better taken care of than the gray units.

[Anonymous]

WCtransfer, where abouts did you see the New Mexico Bi-level car thingie? I know they came though Milwaukee on the UP, and I'm just wondering where they've been headed.

Noah

I don't know where WCtransfer saw his, but the ones I saw were on the CP. They came from Thunder Bay, ON and are headed for New Mexico! Prolly got interchanged to BNSF in Chicago.

Those were actually ex-CN units owned by Alstom, before CN bought them for WC... so they're units back on "home" rails... sorta...
